Siheyuan: Survival in the cellar at the beginning, don’t mess with me

Chen Luoqing said a little worriedly.

A girl's mind is more delicate, so she can naturally better detect the sadness deep in the heart of the deaf old lady.

"This is fate and Xiao Wu's honor." The deaf old lady shook her head and said, "As a soldier, he is loyal to the country. I should be happy. How can I be so sad?"

"Old lady, Ye Wu's pension..."

"I can't accept this. The country is in a period of development. As an old woman, I already have a lot of pensions, which is enough to enjoy my old age. I can no longer take the pensions from the country. Please return them."

mention this issue.

The deaf old lady's attitude became extremely determined.

If you don’t accept it, you don’t accept it. If you don’t want it, you don’t want it.

She is an old woman in her 80s and 3000s, with only a few years left to live. She still has her husband and son who died in the war, leaving a total pension of about [-] yuan, which is definitely enough for food and clothing. She can no longer afford it. It's causing trouble for the country.

"Old lady, you are making things difficult for me. The payment of the pension is not something I can decide." Chen Xi said a little embarrassed, "Director Wang from the subdistrict office will then come to deliver the pension."

"Anyway, I, an old woman, won't accept it."

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to receive the pension, then you have to eat. This is the share I will leave for you."

If Chen Xi originally had a better attitude towards the deaf old lady just because she was a family member of the martyr of the Tiger Regiment.

After hearing what the deaf old lady said.

Chen Xi also admired this 80-[-]-year-old grandmother from the bottom of his heart.

Apart from the deaf old lady's partiality towards Silly Zhu, she is indeed a respectable elder. No one can be completely impartial. When facing people close to them, they will always choose to help their relatives or not. Yes, it would be the same if it were Chen Xi.

Even if my sister did something wrong.

Chen Xi will stand on his sister's side without hesitation and stand on the opposite side of 'justice'!

not to mention.

Now I have my own addition.

This courtyard is not static. It is really hard to say whether the deaf old lady will still be "partial" to Silly Zhu.

"Old lady, please sit down first."

Chen Luoqing supported the deaf old lady and brought her to the wooden bench.

The deaf old lady is quite old and still uses a cane. Although she says her body is still strong, she still needs to take more care of her. Elderly people at this age cannot afford to fall down.

He placed the lunch box in front of the deaf old lady.

In this regard.

The deaf old lady did not refuse.

She used to be childless, but now she doesn't even have any grandchildren. She usually relies on the care of the neighbors in the yard.

For example, eating is all prepared by Yi Zhonghai's family.

The aunt will deliver it at a certain time and place.

A careless person like Silly Zhu can remember five or six times a month. He would burn incense when he came over to cook a meal.

Or maybe someone made something delicious and gave it to the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady did not object to the filial piety of the younger generations.

Because the juniors give some food, even a small snack, is a sign of filial piety.

And filial piety is priceless!

Of course, if you directly give her money and food stamps, don't blame her for turning against her. Just like the deaf old lady who is unwilling to accept the state's pension, she also has the most basic principles.

.

Chapter 20 Let’s live together!House and pension for the deaf old lady!

"Let me see, old lady, what delicious food you have today."

"........"

Sitting on the wooden bench, the strong-willed deaf old lady suppressed the sadness in her heart and said.

He stretched out a wrinkled hand and opened the lunch box in front of him.

What was presented in front of her was fragrant braised pork. The top was shiny with oil. It looked like high-quality pork belly, and a lot of oil was added to it. The bottom layer was yellow millet porridge, and she could even smell a faint sweetness. taste.

presumably.

There must be sugar cubes in it.

The face of the deaf old lady suddenly changed:

"Xiao Xi, can't you live with such a sumptuous meal?"

The top-quality pork belly and braised pork weigh at least seven or eight taels, with a lot of oil added to them.

Although millet porridge is commonplace, sugar cubes are added to it.

The lunch that was brought as a tribute to oneself was worth about seventy cents, and they must have made more than one portion. Based on the portion for three people, this lunch alone would cost more than two yuan.

No matter how rich you are, you can’t eat it this way!

The monthly salary of an ordinary worker is only about [-] yuan. With this lunch, you have eaten up one-tenth of someone else's monthly salary.

"Don't worry, old lady. I've just been discharged from the army, but I received a lot of retirement pay."

"No, no, no, even if you get a retirement pension, you can't waste money like this."

"I only come back to eat occasionally, not every day. Just keep this in your stomach and eat with confidence."

"This--"

Hear Chen Xi's explanation.

The deaf old lady was able to accept it a little bit.

Looking at the fragrant braised pork and sweet millet porridge in front of her, she seemed a little unable to resist and picked up a pair of chopsticks prepared by Chen Luoqing.

Getting older.

The deaf old lady's teeth were not very good either, and she had lost several teeth.

I can't bite hard things anymore.

However, the braised pork cooked by Chen Xi was soft and glutinous, and the millet porridge had just the right consistency, making it just right for a deaf old lady to eat.

"Old lady, you should eat the food made by Brother Xi as soon as possible. It won't taste good when it gets cold."

"Okay, okay, I've never tasted the food made by Xiao Xi, old lady. I just want to try it today."

He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth.

You don't even need to chew it like this, it has a soft and glutinous texture, as if it melts in your mouth.

Suddenly.

The deaf old lady’s eyes lit up!

"Hey!"

"delicious!"

The fragrant top-grade pork belly is wrapped in sauce and fried in oil.

Let its taste be qualitatively sublimated.

Even Shazhu's cooking skills are probably slightly inferior to Xiao Xi's now.

I don't know what kind of job Xiao Xi is responsible for in the army. With her good cooking skills, could it be said that she serves as a 'cooking soldier'?

The deaf old lady didn't think too much. She couldn't stop holding the chopsticks in her hands. She took one mouthful of braised pork and then another mouthful of millet porridge. The taste was so delicious!

in this era.

Braised pork, millet porridge.

This is considered a luxurious meal, enough to satisfy [-]% of people.

In later generations, this combination of dishes will probably be eaten by many people until they feel like vomiting, and they don't like it at all.

"belch--"

After eating the entire lunch box.

The deaf old lady also burped.

There is no way, this food is so good that people can't stop using the chopsticks in their hands. They even feel that the leftover bit is a waste. Naturally, they have to carry out "Operation CD" to eat it cleanly.

"Xiao Luo, your brother's cooking skills are much better than Shazhu's. You will have a good meal in the future."

"Ah? Isn't Si Zhu the chef of the steel rolling mill?"

"What's wrong with the chef?" The deaf old lady shook her head and said, "I've also eaten Shazhu's food. Compared to your brother's, it's still a little inferior in heat. In addition, the ingredients are fine and the taste is... It’s not on the same level at all.”

"Old lady, please tell the Yi family later that they won't need to deliver food in the future. If you are hungry, you can come to our house to eat."

Chen Xi pondered for a moment and then spoke.

He was still very impressed by the deaf old lady's grandson Ye Wu, the company commander of the sharp knife company. He once used his body to block a bullet for himself on the battlefield. Although he did not die immediately, he also left behind a Quite an injury.

The two of them had a life-long friendship, so naturally they had to take a little care of his only grandma.

Anyway.

It’s just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks.

Nothing at all.

In addition, apart from the deaf old lady's 'favoritism' towards Silly Zhu, she can indeed be regarded as a respectable elder.

If it were an old pious woman like Jia Zhang, Chen Xi wouldn't want to pay attention to her at all.

"Okay, okay, after I pass away, old lady, this house and the pension will be entrusted to you."

"Old lady, what are you talking about? I, Chen Xi, only want to help the families of the martyrs. How can I be greedy for their money? Just keep these things yourself."
